Default Electrolytics question


"Meee"

I was wondering why vertical mounting electrolytics have like an
indented cross on them. The reason I ask is because there's 4 largeish
one around my CPU on the motherboard and they have all split open,
along the indentations.



** You had better replace those FAULTY caps as soon as possible.

Do not use the PC until you have, as other parts may become damaged.
